Happy 5 Months Bryson

Bryson is now 5 months old. At 5 months he is really starting to do a lot of things, this is what he is up to...
1. He can push a tractor in front of him
2. He takes a bottle most of the time now, except for middle of the night (sometimes) and first thing in the morning, most of the time before bed
3. Slept all night last night (he used to sleep all night, but recently he's been waking up, but not last night! :) )
4. Gets a little mad when he can't reach the toy he wants
5. Sleeps only in his crib, not carseat
6. Smiles all the time
7. Sits up really well all by himself
8. Holds and pushes himself up well on tummy
9. Rolled over from tummy to back
10. Very close to rolling from back to tummy
11. Loves to watch big brother.... and big brother loves to play with him


This is a five generation picture. Jason, Great Grandma Flick, Great Great Grandma Stueck, Bryson, and Poppy

We are so lucky to have so many grandparents... we love you guys! ;) Jaden especially has a great liking for Poppy. This morning jason asked Jaden what he dreamed about, and Jaden said, "ummmm.... Poppy." cute!

Boys...

This is just some updates of the boys... aren't they cute? Also my pretty flowers, that opened on my birthday. I love tulips and last year I only had one come up and the day it opened somehow it fell off.... So I am pretty excited to have 3 open and not fall off this year.

Also, Erica Foley (my college roommate and best friend) had a beautiful baby girl today! Brooke Elizabeth Foley. Congrats Erica and Doug, I can't wait to meet her!

Easter Fun!

We had such a fun time and Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Marty's house for Easter. A lot of my cousins were around and two of them have little boys too, so Jaden really enjoyed having other kids to play with. He loved the Easter egg hunt (although it isn't as competitive as it was a few years ago) My cousins and myself used to always have a very competitive Easter hunt "The Hunt" where the first person to find all the hidden treats (there were so many different things to find) would be the winner, and the prize was bragging rights for the next year. The worst part is that our husbands/wives "the in-laws" have won the last few years, they weren't even the original people to do the hunt, and shouldn't have even known where the good hiding spots were. Jason even wore his football cleats one year... we meant business. Well, now that we have little kids around, us "big kids" don't do it anymore, but our kids really enjoyed it this year.

Bryson had a great weekend also, I think he is going through a growth spurt, because he ate a lot and slept a lot. He was a very good boy though, and smiled at all the family that loved on him a lot. :)


Bryson smiling away! He is a very smily baby lately, especially in the mornings.

Happy 4 months Bryson

Bryson with his Koala bear at 4 months. He has been really happy lately, he loves to put blankies and burp rags in his mouth.

Exersaucer, outside and ABC's

Bryson LOVES his exersauser, he can stand in it forever and it keeps him happy.  I will bring him into the kitchen with me when I am making supper.  I had to take this picture of Bryson in his exersaucer after Jaden shared all of his things with him.  I found Bryson with Jaden's tractors, blankie, and teddy.   What a good big brother.  

We have also really been enjoying the nice weather outside.  Jaden loves playing outside, and Bryson falls asleep in the stroller really easily.  So B sleeps and J and I play.  :)

This is a video of Jaden counting and saying his ABC's.  Our daycare provider, Cindy, does an excellent of teaching Jaden these things.  He loves to sing this lately.  enjoy!

Bryson 3 months old!

Jaden enjoys listening to music and watching pinoccio lately.  He also loves posing for pictures and then seeing them in mom's camera. 
This is my favorite face picture.  Yes, he is really fat!  Look at that belly and face.  He usually makes this face when he is just waking up.  
Every month we've been taking a picture of Bryson with his koala bear to see how he has grown.  Here he is at 3 months.  He has really been bringing his hands together and everything is going in his mouth.  He loves to smile and talk to us.  He has discovered a high pitch noise that he loves to use when talking to us.  

Spring is coming?!?!?

This morning I heard something, and I couldn't figure out what it was.... then I heard it again, and realized it was a bird chirping.  I couldn't remember what that sounded like, this got me really excited thinking that spring might be near!  Let's hope! 

Have a great Friday!
